Where would the world be without nurses? They infiltrate every sector, working in spaces unexpected by some and underestimated by many.

Kerry, a bright eyed grammar school graduate entering nursing at eighteen via the traditional route with a vision to change the world one patient at a time.
Toni, a mature adult nursing student whose education had been on the back burner for over a decade after having to pause her education to become a mom at seventeen.
One British Caribbean, one white British, on the same road, living worlds apart. Both with their own ideals of what nursing could be, where it would lead and how they would get there.

Their stories reveal the vast and varied career pathways in nursing, with a most special friendship formed along the way. Both Kerry and Toni, while only scratching the surface of opportunities in the field, are united in their refusal to ever be seen as "just a nurse."
